    And this one wasn't? You've been shouting at your monitor for far too long now. There's some nice orderlies outside with some soothing medication...

    Oh, also, when I have a piss I flush the toilet and have to race the flush and beat it or I die.

    Or when I'm walking up the stairs with something, I have to balance it all on my head for the ascent or I die.

    And when I'm driving I make things explode. With my eyes.

    MIND BULLITS!

    Sing loud showtunes to myself or make up my own songs

    Talk to myself, often giving out to people who aren't there or having a general review of my life/certain situations. Gives me a little perspective. :p

    Go to the bathroom with the door open, something I used to be terrified to do.

    Dance to music videos, often trying to copy whatever they're doing.

    Laugh shamefully loudly at things on tv/talk to the tv. Even when people are in the house I can still be found asking George Lamb to please sleep with me. Eeek.

    Try on all my sister's clothes/slather on loads of makeup for a laugh

    For the record, I don't find pissing in the sink disgusting. Obviously it would be hard for me to do, being female, but whatever...I generally don't scrub the sink with my toothbrush before i use it so I don't know what difference it would make to brushing your teeth. Or washing your hands, for that matter.

    this thread made me laugh so much! I don't do any of the whacko things, /feels too normal.

    suppose walking about naked, or singing but I do the first with other people here too. Sure no fun without a bit of danger...it's all a little james bond then.


    this is odd when you know some of the people posting /furiously knocks on all doors before entering any more

    I push my balls back up and pretend i have none
    I lick my teeth and try suck the dirt off them

    I do that! Always thought that made me a bit mental! And it's a full on rant at whatever I've knocked into some days. Because honestly, they should have got out of my way... :confused::pac:

    I kicked in the door of the oven one day when I burned a pizza.

    That sounds worse than it is but in fairness
    1. I was starving
    2. It was a ****ty oven and one exasperated boot of a slippered foot was enough to shatter it

    Spontainiously burst into a few lines of a song, or jump/hop around the room, especially if excited about something
    I had an en-suite that had a shower and a washbasin but no toilet so I always pissed in the sink. It was either that or walk down the hall ffs

    could you just not piss in the shower instead

    :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭jmcwobbles


    LOL this is the funniest thread I've ever read :D

    I do the re-argument thing with the benefit of hindsight too, or else just make up random situations with random people I know and have the full two-way conversation/argument out loud - I've had nights I can't go to sleep until it's come to a natural conclusion

    I also sing and dance like a superhot superstar diva in front of the mirror every morning before the shower to whatever song Colm and Jim Jim happen to be playing

    Delighted to see I'm not the only crazy weirdo! :P

    I talk to myself a bit. Re-do arguments except this time the argument would have went like this

    I thought I was the only one who did this!

    I also preempt conversations out loud.

    Little dances round the place may happen on occasion also.

    What's even more disgusting is that he washes his face in the toilet. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 949 ✭✭✭LoanShark


    I go through all the channels of my SKY even the Hebrew,Chinese and Religion Channels..

    I also have best arguements with myself...I ALWAYS WIN...

    I make plans to try to take over the world...

    And then the usual stuff, Drink alot of coffee, Sit in my PJs for way to long, Look at Boards (being happy that there is more nutcases out there than me!!)..Whack Off, Piss in the sink (Not Often..But I do like how the Cold ceramic feels on my [EMAIL="b@lls"]b@lls[/EMAIL] ):)

    Smell My wrists. Anyone else do that?

    I remember in school when the teacher would tell the class to be quiet or whatever, I used to wiggle my toes in an act of utter defiance...I was threat to society me.

    When I used to play computer games, I'd find myself bending my neck to try and see around corners etc. Sometimes actually leaning my entire body over in an effort to somehow bend the rules of reality and enter the game. Then I catch myself and feel like a damn idiot....

    Sometimes pick a passer by and try to use my mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone or their skirt to fall off....

    Also, sometimes I will blink like a mad man and then close my eyes really tight (sometimes using my palms too) for an interesting light show. Try and make out shapes of things I see...see if my subconscious is trying to tell me something....

    Or sometimes I give myself a task to do (like run up the stairs) before an ad is over on the telly....or I die.

    I'm insane tbh

    I regularly sing 'Incy Wincy Spider' in a sort of Rat Pack type fashion.


    I also regularly change the words of 'Mary' by the Four of Us to suit whatever I've just been talking about, or to my 4 month old about bottles and nappies and the like.

    Amateur.

    I get a tea towel and fashion a bandanna, use the hoover extension as a mic and do full swaying side to side motions (ala Axl Rose) and of course interspersing this with circular airplane moves while rotating on the spot, balancing only on one leg.

    Don't forget the jerky neck movements .. easy mistake to make :cool:

    I recommend the the following song for such behavior:

    When I'm in the car I repeat lines from films I've seen into the rear view mirror and also pull the most evil face that I can muster.
    I also practice doing voices, anyone looking in on me would think I'm talking/shouting/whatever to myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭thirtythirty



    -I do these weird little dances.


    Yup, i do that all the time. Often with "pokey fingers".

    I also:

    - walk around like Mr. Softey
    - talk like a redneck
    - blow bubbles in my drinks and hum at the same time
    - attempt to move things with my mind. But I put A LOT of effort into trying to approach the task in different ways; think about the individual molecules, the surrounding space, the physical attributes of the end result etc
    - try to figure out what muscles i need to move in my eyes to "zoom in" my vision
    - make driving and skid noises in my head (a little less now though since i've got an awesome sounding car and motorbike for real and can get my outlet through them)

    edit: oh i forgot a favourite - close my eyes and focus on the patterns and colours and allow my mind to make them continually mutate. Think windows media player graphics, except with more shapes.

    We have a sliding door at work that opens via your typical CC sized identity swipe card.

    So, I like to stuff the CC card into the wristband of my watch, walk right up to the door and then swipe the palm of my hand from left to right to make it look/feel as tho I am opening the door with "The Force".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I find myself licking my lips when playing the Playstation, fook knows why!!!

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned the whole "Don't step on the pavement cracks while walking" yet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 221 ✭✭pitkan


    I like to climb up at the overpass bridges and sit in the undergrowth watching traffic whizz by. I know I `Should Get Out More` but to persue that quirk, I have to.LOL. Another one is that I always run possible pending arguments in my head and come up with answers to every possible question. I`ve really surprised people at my quick replies....some people even think I`m intelligent. Did I mention the cracks in the pavement thingy? With the downturn and no money going to Councils for path repairs..sure I`m nearly housebound with this one.

    When in a car I look at the number plates in front of me and I try divide the year into the car number so let's say the reg is 97 - D - 2045, I try to divide 97 into 2045, I often shout for joy when one is perfectly divisble!

    Not so much fun since the turn of the century tho :rolleyes:
